"RIOT" NOW AVAILABLE​

​"NKRIOT underwent a 12-week hiatus to write, record and self-produce the album under his independent label based locally in Boyle Heights, CA ‘NKRIOT Productions’. “RIOT” already gained a fervor and momentum as being a dark dance hymn. A rhythmic (Four on the Floor) euphoric anthem, led by a trance-inducing dirty sub bass. Followed by a grievous and nurturing vocal timbre. The lyrics in the Album simply create an impactful poetic cloud beckoning caution for those who fear change of direction in one’s life. Reminiscent of artists who provided the late-nite underground soundtracks to crowded dancefloors filled with club kids, ’RIOT”’ will guide a new generation of these House devotees, before the sunrises.

NKRIOT has dedicated his extensive time and effort towards his unique style of producing. In June of 2017, he released a trippy electronic dance hymn titled “Reality Pages” underlying Daft Punk, which translated into what the GOJI music genre reveals.​-EDM WORLD MAGAZINE
